Away Match Build Up 06/01/2024: FAC R3 Cov City vs OUFC

[stokeu]

Spurs, Arsenal , Villa or Salford United away please.

 

[Concretebob]

Any idea when this will be played?

15mins up the road for me

20 minutes here (I live in Rugby)

 

[Blox21]

Great draw for us from the Banbury area , a chance to put one over the local Cov fans

 

[Jon-ioualways]

Exactly

How do you mean? We lost that one.

....so they owe us the victory this time. Seems reasonable to me, anyway.

 

[Essexyellows]

£14.80 return on the choo choo.

 

[Sheik djibouti]

Very winnable, big newish stadium with a good seating, easy access and not far to travel for local OUFC supporters. Big away allocation and a chance for a big crowd and some decent money.

What's not to like

 

[Mellowyellow]

Nice stop off at Leamington. Might take all 3k to this too so should be fun.

MMmm, lets hope this time we double check if they want their stand demolishing, BEFORT the seats get used as makeshift frisbee's.

We agree.

Should be 22k+ if we shift a few.

£105k in the bank if we win, then we can afford to open all the ground for the Fourth round...

 

[Mellowyellow]

I would appreciate a big following and all singing - Happy Birthday dear Manorlounger!
6th January is the big day. Please bring your own cake.

Will Victoria Sponge Suffice?

Will Victoria Sponge Suffice?

If you were contemplating sharing, yes. If not, meh!

As an afterthought, perhaps a heavier base might support the many candles required?

 

[behindthegoal]

No I’d of preferred Wolves home or away.

But , it could have been a lot worse....it's an alright draw

Last year, against Wrexham, they had 18k in the Third Round. And Wrexham brought 4500!

Can’t see how we’re a bigger draw than Hollywood FC, and I can’t see us taking that many to a tie against someone we were playing in the league two years ago.

15k, I reckon. Not tiny, and it’s winnable, but it’s not one of the most exciting draws we could have had…….

 

[Upthecowboys]

Split ticket £36 for me instead of £79 through Trainline!

hmmmmmmm - are you sure about that?

 

[SteMerritt]

Shall we all try to leave the Coventry seats where we find them this time, I know it's a cup tradition of ours to move them onto the pitch...

 

[Scrongo]

Perfect....26 pounds with rail cardfa cup 5 th round 1982 hahaha what a day....

 

[Ox4Eva]

Some untelevised games could move to the Sunday, e.g, Aldershot v Stockport and Chesterfield v Orient

Buy a return from Oxford to Banbury and a separate return from Banbury to Coventry Arena and it's £16.75 in total with a railcard, £25.40 without. You can stay on the same train, no need to get off in Banbury (unless you want to!)

Is it?? that's good to know, even better then.
I'd rather get off in Coventry City Centre though, than wait the half an hour to catch the train to the arena, that only takes a few minutes...
